Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES)

What Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) does

The Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES), now operating as Sport Integrity Canada, is a non-profit national sport integrity organization headquartered in Ottawa, Canada. Founded in 1988 and funded by the Government of Canada, the organization administers the Canadian Anti-Doping Program (CADP) and the Canadian Safe Sport Program (CSSP), and operates three integrated program areas: anti-doping, safe sport, and competition manipulation prevention. Its core technology is a sport integrity management platform encompassing anti-doping administration, safe sport reporting and investigations, and competition manipulation monitoring, delivered through online self-service portals (AthleteZone, medication checkers, anti-doping and safe sport registries, online learning), direct organizational engagement with national, provincial/territorial sport organizations and clubs, anonymous reporting channels, and a network of trained sample collection personnel.

The organization serves Canadian athletes at all levels, sport organizations required to adopt integrity standards, parents and families of youth athletes, coaches, officials, and administrators. It provides therapeutic use exemption processing, athlete whereabouts management, public disclosure of sanctions, and education programs such as the annual Sport Integrity Symposium. In 2026, it rebranded to Sport Integrity Canada and assumed a two-year leadership role with the Global Network of National Sport Integrity Agencies (GNNSIA) in collaboration with New Zealand's Sport Integrity Commission. Its revenue model is government appropriation-based; services are provided at no direct cost to Canadian sport participants, with no disclosed commercial revenue streams, no pricing model, and no disclosed financial figures.
